I disagree. If you're in a developer bubble you may believe that everyone is using react or angular or vue but if you're beginner you're more likely to stumble upon on something like codecademy or freecodecamp. On freecodecamp they start by teaching you some basic css/html then javascript and (!) jquery and after that you start building simple projects/sites using codepen. I think codepen is really great begginer tool. You don't have to worry about bundling stuff, what text editor you use, etc. etc.
